Send me out...with a bang. |

Msg. 1 of 19
I haven't posted in quite a while, but that's because I've been really busy. I've gotten back to my tower base, but it's giving me a bit of trouble. Is it possible to make a plane have two face? I mean two faces that are bothing facing in or out instead of one being in and the other out.
For example: I want: <> Don't want: >> I want: >< Don't want: << See what I'm saying? If not I might be able to explain further? I want to be able to do this so when I apply a material it shows on both sides rather than one so I don't have to clone the plane, flip it, and attach it to the other one, this is a REAL pain. If you can help thank you VERY much. :) |

do you want the faces on the inside or the outside? if its inside just make a really thin box and flip it.

I'd advise the double sided faces, because using boxes has 4 more unessecary sides than needed.... (I know I spelt uneccesary wrong, probably again...)

You just add the % sign in the shader properties. Double faces can have open edges, also.

I believe if you use it and there are no open edges, it give a couldnt update edge error... Seeing as that property makes it count as 2 polys per poly that has the 2 sided property...

I think you could fix open edges by adding the % sign, but it would have to render double the polies and would kill your FPS.

Double sided isnt & its % Ok, that sounds right, I was away for a week, and don't use it much, I thought I was right, but % sounds better for it..

It is just like the HEK Tutorial (duh), but it has a fancy background and HaloMaps links.

It is the HEK tut with the Halomaps Links...
The shader symbol can be used to eliminate open edges... I imported a AR model and got it to export right using that Edited by Caboose117 on Aug 25, 2007 at 06:15 PM |
